Another AurpI Theatrical HoIocnust.

The Royal Theatre Of Exeter, England,
took fire on the evening OF the 9TH during a
performance Of "Romany Rye The Oc-
Cupants of the pit after an awful struggle
escaped, but many OF them were greatly
injured. There was only one exit from the
gallery, and the crush there was terrific.
Scores were trodden under foot and suiiO-
Gated. A fire escape was brought to Il
window, and many inside were rescued.
Sixty corpses have been removed.
The injured survivors were sent to a hos
pital. The mortality is estimated at one
hundred. The fire originated in the flies
and spread rapidly, filling the theatre
with dense smoke. Tae occupants OF the
upper circle and gallery rushed to the win
dOws, screaming frantically. Many jumped
from the windows and were injured. 9th
ers were rescued by the aid OF ladders
from the verandas. The fire blazed fierce.
~, lighting up the whole city.
There were several thrilling rescues. The
majority of the victims were men and
boys. About thirty women were burned.
When the fire started the drop SCENE was
lowered to prevent a ~draught. Some Of
the actors opened a door to escape, caus.
ing the fire to burst through the drop scene
and TO ignite the gallery. The flames over
took the people Hho were wedged in an
immovable mass and roasted them to
death. Many who were rescued alive died
soon after being brought out Of the burn
ing building.

Roscoe Conklin of New York, is de-
voting himself almost entirely to his
profession, and very seldom writes or
speaks for the public. But recently
the ex-senator was invited to attend
a reunion OF ''the blue and "the
gray" at Evansville, Indiana. In his
reply he said: "My earnest sympathy
and hope go with every movement
and idea having tor its real purpose
to weld together Il sections and class
es and to make our country through
out all it's borders united, prosperous
and great. Could wish or act Of mine
